I apologize if my message seemed aggressive or hostile, I was just
translating a comment not written by me. Any how, I think that the
paragraph was related to OSS in general, not to Lazarus.

On the other hand,  my opinion is that such feature should be enabled by
default, as far as I know, no one has ever had a problem with that in
delphi.  I think you are too cautious disabling such property, or even
warning. It is not that dangerous.

Sorry once again if it looked that I don't appreciate your work or
Lazarus as it is now. In fact I use Lazarus now.
